According to Mozilla and all other online instructions for changing Firefox wallpaper, one must click on the Settings icon (pinwheel) in the upper right corner of a new tab. There is no such icon anywhere on the new tab screen. There is no wallpaper to select under the Settings menu (three dashes) in the top right hand corner. I have the latest version of Firefox. What version are these instructions for? And how does one change the Firefox wallpaper? Firefox is my default browser in Ubuntu 2204 LTS.

Recently Mozilla had the brilliant idea of doing something they've done before...obscuring the URL/Address from the user. So now when you search the URL bar never shows the address your query is sent to because "usr 2 stoopid, need dum." Mocking aside how do you disable this trash. I just came back to Firefox being fed up with Mozilla pulling idiotic pointless weekly UI/Behavior rug pulls like this and...well some things never change.

How can I delete search history? I have a few misspelled searches and similar old stuff that pops up in the address bar when I type in a new search.

I have tried several things:

• Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear data → Selecting and marking everything but with no effect whatsoever
• Settings → Privacy & Security → History → Firefox will never remember history + Clear history as mentioned above
• Settings → Search → Search suggestions → everything disabled
• Settings → Search → Address bar → everything but Bookmarks have been disabled
• Deleted my old Firefox account and created a new so I can still sync between 2 computers

Example: Previously I used www.adobe.com but now I use www.adobe.dk. But everytime I enter adobe in the address bar, Firefox keeps suggesting (autofill) adobe.com instead adobe.dk.

Any suggestions how to clear/delete the browser/search history so I can get a fresh start?

I would like to be able to view the names of tabs and the address bar. I am able to adjust the page views and all is well there. I do not want to use stronger glasses just to view the tabs and address bar and then switch to another strength of reading glasses.

I have several log in users that pop up when I try to log into web sights. I cant figure out hw to get rid of the wrong ones -- they dot show in saved pass words.. please advise

I seem to have accidentally set up tab-groups, on desktop. Probably I fat-fingered a shortcut to group some tabs. This is a function I'll never intentionally use — since I'd rather not cut off my fat fingers, is there a way to permanently shut off tab-groups?

Thank you kindly.

Firefox 138.03 Windows 11 Pro

I have had this issue for previous versions of FF and in Windows 10.

I have set FF to save in d:\downloads but to always ask. It does ask and I then direct it to the specific folder that I want to the save the file to be downloaded in. I change the name of the file and FF saves the file to that folder. However, FF also saves a copy of the file, with its original name, in the D:\downloads folder. Is there a way to prevent FF from saving the duplicate file? Thank you

edit. Sorry, I just found others with the same issue. As I understand it, there is no way to prevent FF from saving duplicates.

When I enable vertical tabs and set the sidebar to expand on hover, the toolbar icons behave inconsistently. In the collapsed state, the icons are arranged vertically, which is correct. However, as soon as the sidebar expands, they switch to a horizontal layout—making it difficult to click the tool I want. Is there any way to prevent this automatic rearrangement and keep the icons in a vertical column even when the sidebar is expanded?

How do I change the color of visited links without changing the background color? This is a new problem that started 2-3 weeks ago. The background color is improperly coupled with the visited links setting. Mt previous setting that worked was changed when Firefox received an update and there is no way for e to change the visited links color without it changing the background color. Please help.

ad blocker on mac laptop does now show up in mozilla firefox extensions or manager, I opened the puzzle icon but only grammerly shows up, I know I have ad blocker because i have websites saying so and i paid for it annually,

When I play games like classic.minecraft.net or krunker.io, the pointer speed is very slow. So I would like to know if there is a way to change the pointer speed of firefox.

When having restarted my computer and Firefox Nightly after a sudden power outage, all my tabs were gone. I need to restore them.

I went into the profile folder, but there was no session store file. Inside the backup sub folder i saw two large files, "previous.jsonlz4" and "restore.jsonlz4", and made a copy of both and placed them inside a new sub folder that I made, inside that profile folder.

An expert from the "Tech Support Guy" website ("Nader") told me, to open "about:support" and there to use the "Refresh" feature. I did this, but no tabs were restored. So I went into the profile folder again, just to see that it had disappeared and been replaced by a new profile folder! And therefore my two copies of the PREVIOS and RESTORE json files were gone, too, as they were inside a sub folder within that disappeared profile folder!

Now I need to know, URGENTLY, how to restore that folder and the files and sub folders within that profile folder. Thanks!

Recently, yesterday, the Roboform extension stopped displaying in Firefox with the other extensions next to the address entry bar. I have rebooted the system and deleted and reinstalled the Roboform extension, but it still does not show and it stopped allowing for login password selection.

Just so I can be sure.

Can you please confirm for me that I have now successfully completely the Firefox Browser installation as well as Mozilla and Mozilla Support.

Otherwise, I am never quite sure and likely to miss the final steps/requirements, etc. for example, hit the wrong button, misunderstood details, etc. I find the internet complicated and hence unclear with many aspects which can end up wasting half of my day (and yours) as I carefully read and note as best I can.

I hope you understand my message. Thanks Sandra
